How come in 2000 years of Christianity he was the only one that got it right?

Augustine, Aquinas, Ireneaus, and many other Church fathers did great.

He is an Arianist on steroids, Arianism has been asked and answered many times, for about 1700 years.
"Tolstoy thus reduced religion to morality, and for him the most eloquent moral code ever articulated by a human being was Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. He suspected all theological mysteries and dogmas to have been added by deceitful state or church authorities. So he warned that one must read both the Bible and theological pronouncements on it very cautiously, filtering every proposition through the invaluable test of reason."
Ummm no, that is not the gospel. Scripture, tradition, and reason tell us otherwise.
But Christianity still got it wrong.
What? You people honestly believe some desert folk who literally had to chop their own foreskin off because sanitation wasn't a thing for many more centuries ACTUALLY wrote shit like Genesis as fucking allegories and metaphors?
Let's not forget fun and whacky New Testament "miracles". There are plenty of examples of these miracles that simply wouldn't work despite being taken literally today, like creating enough bread and meat out of five loaves and two fish to feed five thousand people.
It isn't a "haha you heretic, just have faith" thing. That shit is willful ignorance and cognitive dissonance and is nothing short of silly.

Retard.
You literally still don't get it.
You still think in dichotomies without actually understanding the point Tolstoy is making.
